Gatlinburg Vacation Rental cabin

The rental office is about a 15 minutes drive from the cabin. The cabin was neat and clean. There is a book w/what we thought was local info, but when we tried to order a pizza no one delivered. We called down to the office - long distance on the cell phone - ouch - as the phone in the cabin was dead. Office staff helpful to get us to town - only about 10 minutes away from food and grocery store. Nearest liquor store is in Gatlinburg so stop before you go - it is 25 minutes away. Get directions for how to town while you are at the rental office. The pool is a bit bigger than it looks in the picture. Our 3 kids had a blast. Be careful though, pool bottom and sides are a little rough and we went through a lot of bandaids with scraped up feet. The view from the Crows Nest was great but the hot tub was caked up with "stuff". Thinking it was mineral deposits from the water but the jets where completely encrusted and the intake was completely clogged with the same sediment. Called office - sent out guy to clean it. It was drained and refilled. Crust stayed. Still alot of stuff floating in the water. Really needed some CLR or something. Kind of ruined the mood and we did not use it. Movie theater was very cool. Watched a movie in the evenings as the satelite tv only had 4 working channels. Went into Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Very touristy but fun. Ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. - yum! Went to Ripleys Aquarium - $$$ but cool. Stopped at Wonderworks too. Pretty cool - lots to check out - also kind of expensive. All in all had a good time but expected the little extras wouldn't be overlooked for what we paid to stay there. But we still came home pretty happy :)
